Latest pics of the bird I was a bit bored today so I decided to take the car up to the new ZMAX dragstrip and take a few shots and on the way home I snapped a few more at the Fire Station right up the street from me. I took quite a few, but as though of you with white cars know it's SO hard to capture their beauty. The new paint looks INCREDIBLE. We too ALL of the yellow additive out of the paint and being 100% honest is hard to look at in direct sunlight it's such a pure bright white.
I honestly think the Fire Station shots turned out better then the ones I took at ZMAX. Comments and what not welcome.

4. Honestly one of my personal favorite shots of my car ever.
5.
6. Just about the best shot I could get of the paint.
7. Of course gotta love the meaty 315s

I think 1, 2, and 3 are very good pics. In my opinion you can make them even better by doing some cropping.
Maybe try coming in much closer on 1 (from garage door to garage door left to right / no stone) and (cut the red bricks off the top).
On 2 and 3 (cut off at the right edge of the building eliminating the white sky in the corner) and (cut whatever is needed at the top or bottom to keep your proprtion).
I would love to see them re-posted that way, maybe even try a poll to see if they look better?

DriftR: I'll probably just leave them as is for now. I'm sure that someone with a bit more skill at photoshop could do a much better job but this was just a simple point and shoot picture session with really no intentions of making anything magazine worthy...though it would be nice to someday get into a magazine...lol.
TORCHD 02 TA: I actually was one of the firsts to do the "mini" ceta back in the day quite a few years back. Partially because of a small fender bender with my little sisters hot-wheels so I had to cover it up. Now that the car has fresh paint and sits in the garage under a cover I'm diggin how it looks without that section painted.

Yahelou: The wheels are the current growing fad of Billet Specialty Street Lites. They're 17x9.5" front and 17x11" in the rear.
colby72olds: I appreciate the kind words. I've always thought less is more. I've definately had help from my friends at Zeus though to keep me on the right track with the mods.
